Question 1

I've been dealing with some stuff after getting COVID and it's kind of worrying me. So, I'm a 22-year-old guy, and after COVID I noticed my heart rate was going up. My doctor put me on Nebicard 2.5, and I've been taking it since November 2021. It's helped with slowing my heart rate, but now it's sometimes dropping below 60 bpm. At home, my blood pressure readings are like 109121 with 6075 and sometimes 11569. But whenever I go to the doctor's office, it spikes because I'm so nervous. All my ECG and echo tests look normal though. Is there a way for me to maybe reduce the dosage of Nebicard? I'm trying to figure out if that's something I should be doing or if I should keep going as is. Can you give me some advice on this?

Accepted Answer

Since your heart rate has been well controlled with Nebicard 2.5 and your ECG and echo results are normal, it is important to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication dosage. However, if you are looking to reduce the dosage, you can discuss with your doctor about switching to Nebicard 2.5 every other day or reducing the dosage to Nebicard 1.25 under their guidance. It is important to monitor your heart rate and blood pressure regularly while adjusting the dosage.

If the ECG shows sinus rhythm with no signs of acute myocardial infarction. The medications prescribed are Amlodipine 5mg once daily and Atenolol 25mg once daily. These are appropriate medications for controlling high blood pressure. However, since your grandfather's blood pressure is still increasing during the night, a medication adjustment may be needed. I recommend consulting with the doctor who prescribed these medications to discuss the possibility of increasing the dosage or adding another medication to better control his blood pressure during the night.

Based on your symptoms, it sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). To help relieve your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter antacids such as Tums or Maalox. Additionally, you can also try medications like Omeprazole (Prilosec) or Ranitidine (Zantac) to reduce stomach acid production.

If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

However, it is always important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and to discuss any other possible causes for your symptoms.
